Breakfast Schedule Change at Greenwood Elementary. With Covid restrictions loosening, we are going to serve breakfast to all students before instruction begins to maximize time in the classroom. Teachers have been communicating this to students, and we will kick it off tomorrow so we have a week to work out any kinks.
Key points: Breakfast begins at 7:40 am. No changes to K-1 morning routine. For 2nd-5th, any student eating breakfast will enter through the front doors and go to the cafeteria. If students are not eating breakfast, 4th-5th will enter through side gate into the courtyard (no longer the field), and 3rd grade will join 2nd grade on 'V' Avenue.
If students arrive after 8 am, they will still receive a grab-n-go breakfast and head to their classrooms.
Please no worries about understanding changes, because after a few days, students will know exactly where to go in the morning. Thank you for your flexibility as we begin transitioning into pre-Covid routines.
Your donations of cash, food, and gift cards will support the La Grande School District Youth-In-Transition (Houseless) Program.

We have so many "thank yous" to our principals - we had to make two videos!

Winter weather is here! Please remember Kinders and 1st grade do not enter the building until 7:50 am, and 2nd-5th do not enter the building until 8:00 am. Wednesday is late start, so students do not arrive until an hour later. If students are arriving earlier than the official drop-off times, please make sure they are dressed warmly. We have coats, hats and mittens if you need winter attire.
In honor of our veterans, Mrs. Dunlap has created a music video featuring our elementary students and their appreciation for the sacrifices made for them. Thank you for your sacrifices so we can have the freedoms we have today and in our futures❤️

Cook Memorial Library provides free literacy tutoring Tuesday - Thursday weekly from 1:45 - 4:30pm. Here is the Application for Free Tutoring and Scheduled Access to Learning Stations:
https://forms.gle/ujzefuLCBq1KnKPN9
During open hours, all ages are welcome, and Literacy Center services are free of charge. Please drop in to check out our collection of available educational games and materials, and use the Literacy Center’s PCs and AWE computer learning stations. Students may stay longer than their scheduled hour.
Learning packets are sent home with students for additional learning and practice. Tutors will go over materials to make sure that your student understands. Please feel free to review work on the packets with your student, as repeating helps with comprehension, and students begin using self-correcting techniques while rereading. Students who complete their packets receive prizes during their subsequent tutoring sessions!
If you have questions, contact Myra via email: mbritschgi@cookmemoriallibrary.org, or phone: 541-962-1339.
Greenwood Giants,
Mrs. Wilcox is hosting a Scholastic Book Fair.
There will be pencils and bookmarks, posters and erasers, but best of all, there will be several great books for your child to purchase! Some books will be priced as low as $2! How awesome is that?
The book fair begins tomorrow through October 22nd. Your child’s class will have the opportunity to come to the book fair during their Library/Media time. I am sorry, but this year we are unable to have families shop in person, although you can order online, and have it shipped directly to you.
Moms, Dads, Uncles, Aunts, Grandparents or Guardians. There is a simple and convenient way for your student(s) to purchase from the Book Fair. It is cash free and digital. It is the Scholastic “eWallet” and all you need do is load the amount for your child! That’s it. Pretty simple, right?
Thank you for supporting the Scholastic Book Fair. Remember all profits go towards buying books for the library.
Halloween is around the corner at Greenwood!
We look forward to seeing students on Monday!
